Even if you don't use Discovery Ed as your main science curriculum, it provides a vast library of videos, images, activities, etc that can supplement any science framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Discovery Education solving and how is that benefiting you?

Discovery Ed solves the problem of having to search the internet for science lesson plans since we don't use a science textbook at our school. The site is user friendly and offers a wide array of lessons and activities. It also has lots of good videos that are content-related. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great materials but somewhat outdated"

4/5

Describe the project or task Discovery Education helped with:

It helps me teach science. Most recently it helped me teach about the moon and about senses and the brain. It's engaging and visual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Discovery Education?

I love that it matches the content to standards for me. It's easier to find resources. My kids really enjoy the videos. They keep them engaged. I also like that many of the videos have guides to go along with them. It's helpful to keep the kids engaged, and it gives me a source of questions to ask them. It makes my life as a teacher easier. It's helpful to have videos that my district won't block and that I know are safe for my students to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discovery Education?

Many of the videos are noticeably more than 20 years old (my students comment on the age of the videos). For science, this is problematic, as some of the information has been outdated. For example, there was a video about bionic body parts that was extremely behind on current technology. I had to go to another source to show my students more accurate information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Discovery Education:

Look into it. It's a great resources. I really liked the techbook when we had access to it, but it was expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Discovery Education solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to engage students. Some concepts are much better taught via video than by an instructor. My students are able to rewatch the videos on their own outside of class or during class and are able to watch them if they are absent. It's easier to catch kids up when they've missed many days due to an illness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discovery Education?

Sometimes quality of videos is sub par and other videos need to be screened before watching for showing to a class. Board builders are also a little hard to utilize, especially for students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
